Building technology engineers design and construct buildings. They are involved in the process from start to finish; their job begins with testing soil samples to determine what type of foundation is needed, and includes designing the structure, estimating the costs of construction, and supervising construction.
Construction technicians are required to possess a variety of different skill sets in order to be successful, including knowledge of the construction industry, technical skills and computer proficiency. Since they interact with many different people on a daily basis, excellent communication skills are also important. Possession of a valid driver’s license may also be a necessity for some, as traveling to various construction sites is frequently a requirement of the job.
